TECHNICAL TERMS:
1. Defragmented (of software) reduce the fragmentation of (a file) by concatenating parts
stored in separate locations on a disk.
EXAMBLE: Defragmentation is the process of locating the noncontiguous fragments of data
into which a computer file may be divided as it is stored on a hard disk, and rearranging the
fragments and restoring them into fewer fragments or into the whole file
2. Megabyte a unit of information equal to 220 bytes or, loosely, one million bytes.
EXAMBLE: One megabyte is about 1 million bytes (or about 1000 kilobytes). An MP3 audio
file of a few minutes or a 10-million-pixel image from a digital camera would typically take
up few megabytes. The rule of thumb for MP3 audio is that 1 minute of audio takes up
about 1 megabyte.

3. Processor A processor (CPU) is the logic circuitry that responds to and processes the basic
instructions that drive a computer. The CPU is seen as the main and most crucial integrated
circuitry (IC) chip in a computer, as it is responsible for interpreting most of computer’s
commands
EXAMBLE: he processor, also known as the CPU, provides the instructions and processing
power the computer needs to do its work. The more powerful and updated your processor,
the faster your computer can complete its tasks. By getting a more powerful processor, you
can help your computer think and work faster.

4. Gigabyte A gigabyte is a specific unit of data that's equal to about 1 billion bytes of data. The
term gigabyte is typically used to describe the amount of stored data or the capacity of a
storage device.
EXAMBLE: What is a gigabyte of RAM? Each stick of RAM has a set amount it can store, as
indicated by 1GB, 2GB, and so on. What does the GB stand for? This is short-hand for a
“gigabyte,” a measurement of data that equals roughly 1 billion bytes.

5. Broadband a high-capacity transmission technique using a wide range of frequencies, which

enables a large number of messages to be communicated simultaneously.
EXAMBLE: The term broadband commonly refers to high-speed Internet access that is
always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access. Broadband includes several high-
